Overview

Quarto is an open-source document format and computational notebook system that combines the power of Markdown, code execution, and reproducible research. It allows users to seamlessly integrate code, text, and visualizations within a single document, fostering a dynamic and interactive narrative. Quarto supports multiple programming languages, including R, Python, Julia, and JavaScript, enabling cross-language interoperability. With its intuitive syntax, Quarto makes it easy to create professional-quality reports, presentations, and articles, where code chunks can be executed on-demand and their outputs automatically updated.

Exercises

1. In your R project, create a quarto document. Choose html output for now.
2. Render the document using the Render button at the top of the RStudio pane.
3. Change to format: docx in the header and re-render.
4. Change back to format: html (I find easier to work on this way, can render to Word at the end).
5. Create a code chunk with the following code and render:

nlsy <- read.csv(here::here("data", "nlsy.csv"))
head(nlsy)
